Bible Note: I suggest to dismiss the statements of Brother Tim as unfounded. One problem is according to Kings James Gen 1:31 "And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." God would not salutate a demonic being to be wife of the first man. The second problem is to postulate "Lilith" to be a Jewish myth. A jewish myth in this context would refer to an "authentic Rabbinic tradition" or a "midrash". Please compare the following from, www.ucalgary.com, where Elizier Segal states: --- Start of quote --- The story of Lilith is not actually found in any authentic Rabbinic tradition. Although it is repeatedly cited as a "Rabbinic legend" or a "midrash," it is not recorded in any ancient Jewish text! The tale of Lilith originates in a medieval work called "the Alphabet of Ben-Sira," a work whose relationship to the conventional streams of Judaism is, to say the least, problematic. --- End of quote --- Currently I would support the opinion that Gen 1:27 and Gen 2:20fff are version differences of the same account. The reason is that the word female used in both chapters depicts the wife to be from the male. Please email me, in order to obtain the accurate URL for the above quote.
